Chapter 400

"What brings you to Eudora?" Ethan Roscente turned his head to ask.

Vivian Laurent's tone held secrets. This was no ordinary trip.

"None of your business." Vivian coldly averted her gaze.

She couldn't tell Ethan about Fiona Grandelle.

Sophia Evans was back in their home country. Nothing should go wrong.

Ethan's Adam's apple bobbed. Her words stabbed like knives.

Would he have the right to ask if they were still married?

Vivian ascended the boarding stairs first. Ethan followed closely behind.

Sophia hid in a corner, watching them. Her nails dug deep into her palms.

In first class, Emily Garnache sat by the aisle, eyes closed.

Sophia's seat happened to be directly behind her.

A perfect opportunity.

She pulled her hat low to avoid recognition.

After takeoff, Sophia pressed the call button.

"Bring me freshly boiled water." Her voice was hushed.

The flight attendant hesitated. "That temperature could cause burns."

"I want it scalding hot." Sophia's gaze turned sharp. "The hotter the better."

The attendant nodded and retreated.

Sophia stood, pretending to visit the restroom.

Ethan glanced up from his documents. A familiar gait caught his eye.

It resembled Sophia's walk.

But Sophia should be in their home country.

He shook his head and returned to his papers.

Sophia lingered near the lavatory, waiting.

As the attendant passed with the water, she deliberately collided.

"Watch out!"

Boiling liquid splashed toward Fiona.

"Ah—"

Fiona reacted too late. Scalding water hit her face.

Instinctively, she tore off her mask.

Her shocking features were revealed.

Ethan turned at the scream. His pupils contracted.

Every eye in first class locked onto the scene.

The air froze.
